What pilots can learn from Captain Sullenberger about aircraft and aviation

It was recently announced that “Miracle on the Hudson” pilot Capt. Chesley “Sully” Sullenberger III will be CBS News’ new aviation and safety correspondent. With Captain Sullenberger back in the spotlight, here’s a look back at that remarkable landing and what pilots can learn from the Captain. Sullenberger on airplanes and aviation.

American Aviation Heroes

On January 15, 2009, Capt. Sullenberger took off from LaGuardia Airport for Charlotte/Douglas International Airport on US Airways Flight 1549. About six minutes after takeoff, a flock of Canada Geese destroyed both engines of the Airbus 320-214.

What happened next made the Captain. Sullenberger, co-pilot Jeff Skiles and the flight attendants, American heroes, as the cabin filled with acrid smoke and the smell of jet fuel, Sullenberger rebuffed traffic control’s suggestion that he try to land 10 miles away in Teterboro, New Sweater. Instead, he made the split-second decision to land Flight 1549 in the Hudson River. The quick thinking and calm approach of Sullenberger and the crew saved the lives of all 155 people on board, with the entire crew receiving the Master’s Medal from the Air Pilots and Navigators Guild.

What pilots and aircraft personnel can learn

What can pilots and aviation professionals learn from Sullenberger and the crew of US Airways Flight 1549?

deliberate calm. Contrary to popular belief, people like Sullenberger don’t just stay calm while other weaker people succumb to panic. Fear and panic are automatic responses of the brain in dire and dangerous circumstances.

What made Sullenberger truly heroic was his ability to overcome his fear, to override it with rational thought. Being able to think, “Keep calm, keep calm, you’ve got a plane to land,” and then actually do it. Neuroscientists call this metacognition. Pilots call it “deliberate calm,” the ability to self-correct in stressful circumstances.

Embrace the flight simulator. Flight simulators are an incredible tool for teaching pilots and aircraft personnel to remain calm and focused in difficult situations. First, simulators can teach technical skills, such as how to land a plane that has lost power in the water. But just as importantly, a simulator can train people on how to overcome their fear so they can think clearly in the midst of chaos.

Preparation and more preparation. Sullenberger has said that he “had done a good job of preparing for what might come.” That’s an understatement, considering he’s logged more than 20,000 flight hours throughout his career, from Air Force fighter pilot to commercial airline pilot. It takes years of training and discipline to be as prepared as you were that day Flight 1549’s engines went out. The lesson for all pilots and aviation professionals is, as the Boy Scout mantra goes, be prepared. Train, learn, log hours, stay alert to be ready for whatever comes your way.

8 Software Engineer Contract Job Pros and Cons You Might Not Know About

From September 2008 to March 2010, contract work increased 2% and part-time jobs increased 16%, while temporary, permanent and full-time positions decreased significantly (-19%, -36%, -4% respectively). Read on to find out why software engineering contract work can be a safer and smarter career path for you.

Software engineer contract work offers many benefits over permanent positions, although it does have its drawbacks. Here are some features of contract work that can help you determine whether or not it’s right for you:

Contract labor professionals:

Money – The pay will generally be better than permanent positions, as the employer incurs less overhead.

flexibility – since you are paid by the hour, you are not required to exceed the established weekly hours. In many cases you are on your own time. Also, taking contract positions allows you to work on several different projects with different companies.

Experience – contract jobs allow you to gain experience and training in different areas of specialization. This can be a great resume builder, however you want to avoid being labeled a job jumper, so show some focus on specific areas.

Work from home opportunities – Many contract employment opportunities are work from home. While some employees feel the need for a structured environment, many love the freedom that working from home offers (and its gas-saving benefits!). If you work from home, you may qualify for a home office tax deduction.

tax deductions – contractors can claim tax-deductible business expenses. Be sure to keep track of all the money you spend on office supplies, phone calls, and anything else related to work expenses. Also keep track of the number of miles you travel in your car to and from your work contract, as this may be another deductible expense.

Cons of contract work:

Less benefits – This is not always the case if you find a generous company that is willing to negotiate the terms of your contract.

Uncertainty – During the economic downturn, the average job seeker was primarily seeking job stability. Now that things have loosened up, contract work is regaining its appeal for those who enjoy its benefits.

Taxes and health insurance – While full-time employees have taxes withheld from their paychecks, contractors must take care of their own taxes. Contractors are responsible for paying self-employment tax, which covers social security and Medicare. In addition, they are responsible for paying estimated taxes, which consist of self-employment and income tax in quarterly installments based on what they expect to earn for the year.

Contract work can be very beneficial for some, while not so appropriate for others. Since much of the work of software engineers is project-based, many of you in the field should be comfortable with this type of position. In many cases, software engineer contract work will be the most sensible option for those in the industry and I recommend experiencing it at some point in your career. It can always be used as a gateway to a permanent position and is a great way to test whether the company is right for you. Always remember that more than 70% of contract jobs become permanent positions, so opportunities are very likely to open up in the future (Source: IBISWorld).

Employment agencies are often a good resource for finding contract work. Another option is to use independent resources.

5 practical uses of LED lights

Light-emitting diodes, better known as LED lights, are a popular choice for many homeowners, as long as you are aware of their limitations and practical applications for home use. While there are many different ways to use them throughout the house, some work much better than others and make more sense for a particular purpose in a particular space. Take a look at five practical uses for LED lights in your indoor and outdoor spaces.

1. Under Cabinet Lighting

One of the most common uses for LED lighting inside the home, under cabinet lighting is a popular choice for many modern kitchens and bathrooms. They add a perfect finishing touch to any space that needs just a touch of lighting; especially areas that already have a major form of lighting present. LED lights are available in various styles and sizes for use under kitchen or bathroom cabinets, and many are very affordable and cost-effective for the average homeowner.

2. Outdoor use

Another common and practical use for LED lights in the home are those designed for outdoor use, such as along a garden path or driveway to the front door. The most effective versions of these types of LED lights are strings or sets of lights, like matching sets that work together to beautify and add value through pathway lighting for guests and family members alike. You can find them at almost any home decor or lawn and garden store, and in many cases they cost less than $50 per set.

3. Ecological lighting

Many of us are looking for eco-friendly lighting options that lower energy bills in the short and long term. LED lights are more cost effective and energy efficient, making them a great option for someone trying to reduce their carbon footprint. They are low-voltage bulbs and are made from environmentally friendly products, often costing a little more than the average modern form of lighting.

4. Modern and contemporary decoration option

Practical uses for LED lights often involve coordinating with existing decor, or at least not clashing with your sense of style. LED lights are modern and contemporary, and there are many designs and styles that follow a wide variety of home décor options. This includes indoor and outdoor applications, from gardens and outdoor spaces to kitchens, living rooms, dining rooms, bathrooms, media spaces, and even children’s and adult bedrooms.

5. Accent lighting

Although most people think of under-cabinet lighting and the like when they talk about accent lighting, there are other practical applications for LED lights inside the home. For example, a small amount of light below the shelves is a great way to showcase something on the shelf below. Likewise, LED spotlights can focus all of the spotlight on the focal point you want people to notice in that particular room, often without the need for more than one spotlight. Since they are energy efficient and cost effective, you can afford to buy several where you may only be able to buy one or two of the more expensive styles.

WoW – Skinning Leveling Guide 1-450

skin wow

So do you want to learn skinning? The sound sure is great, and you’ll be running around cleaning up your own mess. Then why not! And I totally agree.

But before you start running around skinning any furry little mob you see in sight, read this one first, to get an idea of ​​how to level skinning even faster! Because the only thing better than leveling up your skinning, is leveling it up faster.

where to start

The main thing you need to know here is, trainers, items (bags) and types of leather. Let’s cover the basics.

Trainers:

They are everywhere, both for the Alliance and the Horde. So where do you find them? Here is a list of the starting locations for both the Alliance and Horde and their respective skinning trainers.

Ranks you can learn from these trainers:

(Apprentice, Journeyman, Expert, Craftsman)

NB: These are all the skinners you should find in the original World of Warcraft game.

Alliance Skinning Trainers

o NightElf (m), Radnaal Maneweaver – Northwest of Ban’ethil Hollow – Teldrassil

o NightElf (f), Eladriel – Terrace of the Artisans – Darnassus

o Dwarf (m), Balthus Stoneflayer – The Great Forge – Ironforge

o Human (f), Wilma Ranthal – Stonewatcher Falls – Redridge Mountains

o NightElf (f), Jayla – Silver Wind Haven – Ashenvale

World of Warcraft: Burning Crusade (only)

Tools (items):

Ok, now you have learned your skinning skill and you are ready to skin some mobs. Wait, wait, wait a second. You need some tools. or in game terms, items.

o (Required) Skinning Knife

o (Suggested, but optional) Leather Job Bag such as the ‘Bag of Many Skins’

You can escape without a skinning knife if you attack with an axe, knife, or sword. But only up to a certain level, and this only frees up 1 bag slot. AND YES, you MUST carry the skinning knife with you.

That’s why the ‘Bag of Many Hides’ is so great, it can be used to hold all the hide and the skinning knife, and it’s BIG. Another great advantage. It is definitely worth the gold.

Leather types:

I saw this somewhere, and thought it was very interesting. A list of all the leather types available in the original World of Warcraft and at what level you can expect to see them. In the expansions, there is only 1 type of skinning leather from mobs.

o Ruined Leather Scraps – expected mob level: 1-16

o Light Leather – expected mob level: 1-27

o Light Hide – expected mob level: 10-27

o Medium Leather – expected mob level: 15-36

o Thick Skin: Expected Mob Level: 40-59

o Tough Leather – expected mob level: 43-63

o Tough Skin – expected mob level: 47-63

Note: You can improve your leather with Leather Working. Sometimes I would ask a guild or friend to do this for me in exchange for some leather goods.

Let’s skin!

Digital Marketing

You do not own your employee’s social media accounts

Recently, I’ve been noticing more and more that small businesses and groups are “asking” their employees to change their cover or profile photos to the brand of the organization they work for. And, while some managers understand that this is a fine line, others have pushed their teams to help promote the group’s brand.

You know how that happens, right?

First, the team manager gives a request that goes something like this: “Hey, wouldn’t it be great if we helped promote our business and we all changed our cover photos to branding? We happen to have some works of art we created and it would be great if each of you would go ahead and upload it to your social media accounts. It’s a team effort! You don’t have to, but…”

And then you have the first person on the team who goes ahead and changes their profile picture or cover, and the next thing you hear, the manager makes a clear point to acknowledge that team member. I’ve even seen some situations where managers have repeatedly asked, always qualifying it as “not required,” to see if a team member who hasn’t changed their private social media settings intends to do so. You know, not-so-subtle pressure.

This is my suggestion to you if you are a team leader or manager and would like to have some team spirit for the team.

  • Ask once and once only and provide the artwork, if any team member ever wants to help your group spread the word.
  • However, you can do what I do and not ask anything. Period.

Honestly, my marketing team has said to me, “Wayne, let’s ask the team to promote one of our social businesses or companies on social media!”

I’ve never been enthusiastic about the idea, and I’m not sure I ever will.

I think we should have a separation between work and personal, as much as we can. I know some people think it’s “old school” but the reality is that as a leader I understand that if my team has a personal life and the business world doesn’t invade them all the time, they will be happier and productivity will be higher.

There are also some practical and legal reasons not to ask your team to promote your business or group on social media. It’s particularly true when managers question them with the “subtle” pressures that can sometimes occur when they want their team members to support the organization.

  • Employers have the right to ask their employees not to be on their personal social media accounts during work hours. That’s a legitimate request for employees (but not for contract workers, freelancers, or consultants who aren’t salaried staff).
  • Can you demand, however subtly, that your employees support your organization? The short answer is no. don’t Social media accounts are the personal and private property of the owners, in this case, each of their employees. So, just like you can’t require them to give you the keys to their houses, you can’t ask (ie “expect”) them to promote the business on their accounts.

But what if you want to at least make it an option for your team to promote your company or group on their social media accounts if they choose? Yes, you can make your social media art and images available to them, let them know it’s a resource for them if they ever wanted to use it on their accounts, but that’s about it. In some cases, you or your employees may be putting yourself or your employees at legal risk because promoting your business on your social media accounts for commercial gain may violate the social media terms.

The bottom line in the age of social media is that if you want to build team spirit or have an amazing product launch and you want your team involved, you can provide the resources. But you can’t force or pressure them, or do anything more than allow each person to do what they would like to do, in any case, on their personal social media accounts.

Dippity Do – Easter Egg Fun

Easter is just around the corner and one of the great activities to engage in this and every Easter season is to color the Easter eggs. Easter eggs are simple and fun to color; you just need to take note of the following tricks.

Easter eggs usually start out with hard boiled eggs, so buy a dozen or two to color. Gently lower them into boiling water for about 10 minutes. The eggs will cook and become hard. Now just let them dry.

The easiest way to color your Easter eggs is to purchase an Easter egg coloring kit. These kits usually include dyes to paint the Easter eggs in various colors, stencils or stickers to decorate and design them, and an Easter egg holder to allow them to dry easily. Most kits only cost a few dollars and are very convenient.

You can also make your own color dye. You can mix about 1 tablespoon of food coloring with a half teaspoon of vinegar, then add about 1/2 cup to a third cup of water. Now simply dip your Easter egg into the cup of colored water. The longer the egg sits in the water, generally, the deeper and darker the color will be.

Also, you can hand paint your Easter eggs. You can find many watercolor paints or other types of paints to design and decorate your eggs. Even undiluted food coloring usually works. It is important to note that you should not eat any eggs that have had paint used on them.

Creating or decorating your egg is also fun and simple. Once the eggs are hard, you can stick stickers to the egg, use a brush to thinly cover a creative design, or glue construction paper cutouts to the egg. Many people even dress up their Easter eggs in doll or handmade clothes made from cotton or other types of fabrics.

Type 2 diabetes: the five most harmful refined carbohydrates

Most of the carbohydrate foods consumed today are highly refined and processed. Most of it is plain sugar, but not just table sugar; corn syrup, sweet drinks and different types of candy. Nutrients and fiber have usually been removed as well. Not all carbs are bad for you, but the following are ranked as the worst of the worst…

1. Cakes. While the cakes serve as a tasty treat; cakes, muffins, donuts, and even bagels can cause significant blood sugar problems. These refined carbohydrates can cause a sudden spike. As our body’s blood sugar level rises, the pancreas begins to produce insulin to help cells absorb blood sugar. However, when we consume an excessive amount of refined carbohydrates, we can become insensitive to insulin and it can become less effective in lowering blood sugar levels, leading to type 2 diabetes.

It is best to avoid cakes as they are very high in sugar. If you miss your favorite treat, treat yourself to a homemade stevia treat from time to time and this should help curb any cravings. You can also make a low-sugar chocolate “milkshake” with whole unsweetened coconut milk, raw cacao powder, and half a frozen banana. This can do the trick to satisfy your craving for sweets.

2. Bread. Bread, especially white bread, can cause a spike and then a drop in blood sugar. The bread is also known to contain high fructose corn syrup which can increase the risk of developing type 2 diabetes, obesity, and heart disease. It is best to avoid bread and opt for healthier options such as gluten-free wraps made with yucca or almond flour. You can also use lettuce leaves instead of bread when making sandwiches to help prevent blood sugar imbalances.

3. Packaged snacks. Packaged snack foods tend to be high in refined carbohydrates. Foods like crackers, cookies, and even granola bars contain a lot of added sugar. Instead of choosing packaged snacks, choose whole foods like nuts, seeds, half an avocado, along with a piece of fresh fruit.

4. Frozen meals. Frozen dinners are not only known for containing excessive amounts of salt, they are also made with refined carbohydrates like white pasta or white rice. Skip freezer meals and do your best to make as much of your food as possible! In this way, you will know exactly what is in what you are eating.

5. cereals. Breakfast cereals often contain high levels of added sugar. Instead of cereal, choose a whole grain option like rolled oats combined with a healthy fat like almond butter to help stabilize blood sugar.

Refined carbohydrates can be detrimental to our overall health and can make it difficult to balance blood sugar levels. Instead of fancy options, try adding some of the healthy swaps. You’d be surprised how much better you feel both physically and mentally with your blood sugar stabilized!

Sex during courtship and marriage

In this article when I talk about sex I mean sexual relations between a man and a woman. The world today has gone so crazy that sexual relationships are no more honored and respected as they should have been. In most developed countries the level of sexual immorality is so high that it is really cause for concern. I don’t think there is any religion that supports premarital sex, extramarital sex, or any form of sexual immorality. When God created the world, he made the first man and woman and kept them in a beautiful garden to care for and maintain it. He also implored them to multiply and fill the world. Sexual intercourse according to God’s original plan is supposed to be a means of procreation. But today what do we find in the world; adolescents, young people and adolescents practicing premarital sex without fear of consequences.

I do not want to start discussing at length the extent of sexual abuse and immoralities among today’s teenagers because this article is intended for men and mature minds. In this sense, we will be discussing sex during courtship and sex in marriage. Dating Sex – Call it courtship, courtship, friendship, relationship, affair, etc., you are right because these words speak of partnership between two, mostly men and women. Is sexual relations during courtship, friendship or relationship outside of marriage correct? In a concise and direct answer, No.

The Bible says don’t fornicate. In 1 Corinthians 6:18 the bible says “Flee from sexual fornication, No other sin affects the body like this. For sexual sin is sin against your own body.” Any sexual relationship between single people is fornication. Call it what you want to call it, the truth is that if she is not your wife, my boy you are a fornicator and fornication is sin and is not pure before humanity and God. On the other hand, the woman who gives herself to a man who is not married to her is also a fornicator. Most men today say that they cannot marry a woman who they are not sure can satisfy them in her bed, which is why they have sex with her before marriage.

Some say that we are courting each other and that we need to know everything about each other to make sure we are compatible. I’m not against men marrying women they’re compatible with, but sex isn’t the only thing that makes a marriage work after all, you don’t marry her just for sex. Or do you intend to turn her into a sex machine after marriage? Most of the young girls have ruined their destinies and their future due to the word courtship. You give yourself to a man and he makes love to you, then he tells you, I’m sorry, we’re not compatible; I can’t marry you. In the meantime, it has spoiled your femininity and your pride as a woman. Remember that it has not only marred your femininity, it has also led you to sin (fornication) before God.

Extramarital sex: This is another common sin that men and women commit on a daily basis. The Bible says that it is better that we abstain from sexual relations, but where we cannot, we should marry. It is very common today to see married men and women leave their marital homes to have sex with strange men or women. Society abhors this and the Bible calls it sin (adultery). When you are married and still leave your marital home to have sexual relations with another man or woman, you are an adulterer. Another common one these days is the case of married men having sex with young, single women. She calls you her sugar daddy or Aristo and you’re happy.

In this case, the man is an adulterer while the girl is a fornicator and neither society nor God approve of it. On the other hand, you see married women dating young guys who are young enough to be their children and are happy to talk about it openly. She calls herself a sugar mummy and the young man her Gigolo. I pity the young man who does that because he is inviting the wrath of God upon himself. Proverbs 6 verses 27-29 says, “Can a man put fire in his lap and not be burned? Can he walk on hot coals without blistering his feet? So it is with a man who sleeps with another man’s wife. He who hugs her will not go unpunished”.

Sex in Marriage: God ordained marriage and fully supports the institution of marriage. As I said before, God created man and woman and gave them dominion over everything in the world so as to procreate and multiply the world. Sexual intercourse in marriage is the means through which God’s mandate for procreation is carried out. Also in 1 Corinthians 7:3 the Bible encourages sex in marriage and clearly says: “The husband should not deprive his wife of sexual intimacy, which is her right as a married woman, nor should the wife deprive her husband.” . Sex is for married men and women and all religions support it. I don’t think there is any society that doesn’t believe in this.

The couple should try to be available to satisfy each other’s sexual urges to avoid temptation. Sex is not a food that we eat daily, in this sense men should not turn their wives into sex machines either. Most men who commit adultery always give that as an excuse. My wife is not always ready for me when I need her. You have to understand your wife and know when she will be in a better mood. Going outside to engage in extramarital sex is sin and God hates it. I wish all married men a happy married life and encourage all single men to try as much as possible to refrain from sexual intercourse until they are married in order to be at peace with their creator.

Home remedies for thrush and bacterial infections include:

– Chlorhexamine can be used to treat staphylococcal and fungal skin infections. Bathe your dog in it.

Remember to read the label.

– Apply Monistat or Gynolotramin for yeast infections.

– Bactoderm is normally prescribed by the vet and is used for bacterial infections of the skin

– Panalog- is effective due to the combination of antibacterial and antifungal

– Tresaderm: suitable for ears that have bacterial, fungal or inflammatory infections

– To treat the hot spot, use Gold Bond powder

– To heal hot spots and skin irritation, Calendula ointment is recommended.

– To allow skin irritation to heal faster, shave the fur to allow air flow while feeling comfortable.

– Use Vaseline for dry and irritated skin

– Give your dog medications prescribed by the veterinarian, such as steroids and oral antibiotics.

Size). Helps in allergic reactions such as watery eyes, paw chewing caused by pollen and

dust and hives.

– Use an Elizabethan collar to prevent your dog from scratching, biting and licking the affected area.

You can also buy herbs in stores to help your dog’s condition. Read the instructions and use for a week and stop using if it gets worse. These herbs are German chamomile flower, burdock root, curly dock root, licorice root, and southern woodgrass.

Apply calendula cream on the rash and gently rub it into the skin. This helps soothe itchy skin. Removing what your dog is allergic to as well, either in his environment or in his diet, will help with his allergies.

A strong immune system is needed for your dog to fight off allergens. Don’t give your dog allergy-triggering foods such as corn, wheat, and yeast. There are a few companies that specialize in bulldog food, including California Natural, Pinnacle Special Diets, Innova, and Royal Canine Bulldog 24. Read the ingredients on the dog food package or follow the raw diets.

Bathe your dog with the insecticide recommended by your veterinarian to kill fleas, ticks and mites. You can also use a medicated shampoo like Chlorhexamine or an ointment like Goodwinol before bathing your dog. If there are any problems affecting the foot area, soak the paws in Epsom salts. Then rub the paws with a mild lotion.

It’s easy to see when a bulldog is allergic to his food or the air: when he keeps licking his paw.

Visibility: A way of thinking about aging and design

As the population ages and more people live with physical disabilities, housing and community development must be re-examined. Inaccessible housing makes daily life difficult for people with reduced mobility due to illness, accident or age. Visitors to inaccessible homes face the danger of falling on the front steps, the worry of not being able to get into the bathroom, and the embarrassment of being carried down the stairs. An affordable, sustainable, and inclusive design approach to integrating basic accessibility features into all new-build housing is a movement known as Visitability.

In 1988, the Fair Housing Amendments Act created affordable units in all new multi-family housing apartments and condominiums with four or more units. In 1990, the Americans with Disabilities Act greatly increased accessibility to all government and public buildings. But detached single-family homes and row houses, where the majority of the population lives, are the last part of the built environment not covered by federal law. There are no accessibility codes. To this day, private and semi-detached houses continue to be built with the same basic accessibility barriers: steps at all entrances and narrow doors to bathrooms.

In an effort to pass legislation for accessibility in new single-family home construction, Eleanor Smith, the founder of Concrete Change, started the Visitability Movement in the U.S. The movement calls for three basic accessibility needs to be met:

* An entrance without steps on a route accessible from a public driveway or sidewalk.

* Entrances with a minimum free passage space of 32″.

* A half bath on the main floor to accommodate a wheelchair.

If these three requirements are met in the construction of each new home, future adaptations for specialized needs can occur as needed. Visitability features make it easy for people with reduced mobility to visit friends and family and stay active in their communities.

COST OF VISIBILITY

Over the life of a home, 25-60% of all new homes will have a resident with mobility issues. This may be muscle weakness, poor balance, arthritic stiffness, or confined to a wheelchair. 95% of all new homes are built with steps at every entryway and narrow doors to the bathroom. Due to architectural barriers, the risk of falling in love with the homeowner is greatly increased and the success rate of first responders can be compromised during medical emergencies.

In 2005, 1.8 million Americans over the age of 65 were treated in emergency rooms for injuries caused by falls, and 460,000 were hospitalized. 60% of all nursing home residents enter these facilities directly from hospitals after a fall, stroke or heart attack. Since most homes have steps at all entrances and narrow bathroom doors, it can only be assumed that a large number of people do not return home after accidents due to lack of accessibility.

Below is a cost comparison of Visitability built into a new home versus Visitability retrofitted into an existing home. The cost of the nursing home reflects the extreme expense of “doing nothing.” (Maisel, Smith, and Steinfeld, 2008, “Increasing Home Access: Design for Visitability”)

Construction of visitability of new houses

* Stepless Entry on Concrete Slab – Add $100

* Entry above crawl space or basement – add $300-$600

* 34″ door: add $2 to the cost of a 32″ door

* Average cost of visitability features, depending on region: add $98 to $573

* Average cost for Universal Design features: add 1% to total project cost

Modernization of the visitability of the existing home

* Step-less entry -add $3,300

* Expand interior doorway: add $700 per doorway ($22 for a drop hinge)

*Home Elevator: Add $15,000-$25,000

Nursing Home Costs

* Nursing home for individuals: $85,000 per year

* Nursing home for US$122 billion in 2005 (60% of the cost assumed by the public through Medicare and Medicaid)

* Cost of falls among the elderly by US$19 billion in direct medical costs (Maisel, Smith, & Steinfeld, 2008)

LEGISLATION

Cities and towns across the country are gearing up to help their ever-growing older populations. With affordable senior housing in short supply and the desire of most seniors to remain in their homes, home-based programs are at the forefront: meals on wheels, home health care, hospice care in home, physical therapy at home, transportation from home. But for home-based programs to be successful, basic accessibility must be provided in the home. Visitability in private homes is crucial for the safety and social sustainability of older adults with mobility problems. Without the independence to enter or leave their home or to use the bathroom when needed, older adults can become isolated, depressed, and ill. Visitable homes are necessary for the safety and safety of everyone: older adults, physically disabled, visitors, caregivers and first responders.

In the late 1980s, Eleanor Smith of Concrete Change began lobbying Atlanta homebuilders to incorporate Visitable features into their new homes, but was met with strong opposition. Habitat for Humanity listened and today there are more than 800 Visitable Habitat homes in the Atlanta area.

1992- Atlanta Visitability Ordinance

Atlanta became the first city to adopt a visitability ordinance that requires all builders of new single-family, duplex or triplex homes that receive any financial benefit from or through the city must meet several basic access requirements, including at least one zero step. suitable entrance and interior door widths.

2002- Pima County Inclusive Housing Design Ordinance, Tucson, AZ

Pima County adopted the first ordinance in the nation requiring step-free entry for single-family homes with door openings at least 34 inches wide, lever door handles, reinforced walls in bathrooms for grab bars, over 48″ and 36″ wide aisles throughout main floor.

In 2003, the Southern Arizona Home Builders Association sued Pima County over the legality of the Visitability Ordinance. In a unanimous decision, the Arizona Court ended Tucson builders’ efforts to strike down Pima County’s law requiring minimum access in newly built single-family homes. By 2008, Tucson, AZ had built 15,000 visitable homes.

2004- Visitability Code, Bolingbrook, IL

Bolingbrook initially passed a voluntary visitation ordinance that was unsuccessful with homebuilders. To enforce homebuilders, Bolingbrook enforced the ordinance requiring all new homes to be built to visitability standards:

* A minimum of one zero crossing input

* Entries with 32″ clearance space

* A bathroom on the main floor that will accommodate a wheelchair

Bolingbrook currently has 3,600 single-family homes that can be viewed.

Inclusive Housing Design Act of 2009

US Representative Jan Schakowsky (D-ILL) introduced legislation that would apply visitability standards to all new single-family homes and townhouses receiving federal funds. Currently, 95% of new single-family homes and townhomes built with federal assistance do not incorporate accessibility features, making it impossible for many people with disabilities to live in or visit them. Representative Schakowsky reintroduced the bill in 2010.

Since the introduction of the Atlanta City Ordinance of 1992, more than 50 ordinances of varying quality have been passed across the country. The legislation has resulted in more than 30,000 visitable homes being built for the open market, regardless of whether or not the first occupant has a disability. States whose cities are adopting visitability ordinances or voluntary programs are: GA, FL, TX, VA, VT, MN, NM, KN, IL, OR, KY, NJ, MI, PA, OH.

ICC/ANSI A117.1, the accessibility standard referenced by most building codes in the US, is currently developing a Type C section that includes technical design criteria for visitability. This will provide a model of accessibility that can be adopted in new single-family homes and will clarify the design of a no-step entry, accessible bathroom, and accessible doors. The standard can be referenced by visitability laws and programs, thus promoting uniformity in applications and aiding in their interpretation. Please note that the IBC will not require Type C dwelling units. If a jurisdiction or state chooses to require visitability in single-family dwellings, the Type C unit criteria will be available for adoption as a reference. The 2010 edition of ANSI A117.1 will contain the specifications for Type C (visitable) dwelling units. (Maisel, Smith, and Steinfeld, 2008, “Increasing Home Access: Design for Visitability”)
